MAKING " tHtRN EASILY.
An experienced aud successful butter
maker thus explains how she makes the
butter come quickly as cold weather APP
proachcs. She keeps the cream crock in
the cellar rs cool as possible, and M the
natural result it Is too cool for good butter
making. II the cream is directly heated
over the fire IL is ant 90 make soft butter,
as every housewife knows. What she does
is 20 take q quart or a little more 81 sweet
milk, heat il quickly over the fire, and
then mix 1t with tie crcam already in the
chuin, adding enough TO bring IL up 10 the
right temperature. The butter comes very
quickly hy this method, and Is not made
soft late in the season. Some use hot wa
ter instead Of milk, but the advantages of
the latter is that the warm sweet milk i'm.
parts u better flavor 10 the butter, and
greatly improves the butlermilk, besides,
of course, making more of It..
Thon is probably only a very small in
crease of butter that comes directly from
the heated sweet milk. Possibly this
furnishes no butter, but II does separate
the butter PARTICLES more perfectly from
the cream than is possible otherwise. The
yield II cream and butter from milk should

BILE to trace it's origin; and prohab.
ly not one in ten thousand who
wear it care to know so long as it
is the fashion. In looking at a
we'll hustled woman one is led to
believe that that the intention of
the addition to Der figure was to
initiate the graceful outlines OF the
quail or Il modified form of the,pca-
cock. 1t looks handsome enough
when the annex is Skilltully con
s:ructed and gracefully worn. but
the uninitiated cannot but sympa.
thizu with the wearer in the great
responsibility which she assumes,
and in the constant fear that must
haunt her that something may go
wrong with this deliberately built
up portion of her anatomy, but
such considerations DO not daunt Il
woman. She gets aud wears what
fashion dictates. and takes all risks
There is a movement OH foot, how
ever, which may cause the down
fall of The hustle. In European
capitals fashionable dogs are be.
ginning to be adorned with them
as tar us the cXigencies OF the ca
nine anatomy will admit. This
fashion, of course, will spread, and
it is likely that when 1t begins to
become general, women will re-
sumo their natural shape and leave
the hustle entirely to The dogs.

Pay OF Congressman.

When n member dies his pay
ceases on day OF bis death. The
salary of the successor commences
the day after tho decease Of the
former member, though the cleo
tion may not occur for several
months. The new member, in 9th
er words, draws pay for the time
never served.
a member is allowed twenty
cents mileage each way or forty
cents Il mile one way and he can
check for the full AMOUNT of both
trips when he takes his seat. He
is allowed Sl25 IL year for station
cry. The most Of his sum is peck
eted.
The members draw their money
in different ways. There are prob
ably twenty of the present House
who let their salaries run into nest
eggs.
There is a couple of dozen of
members who always overdraw or
rather, borrow from the head Of the
bank. They borrow or get in adj
vance sums ranging from $40 to
$500, and at the end of the month
they have nothing.
The great majority Of the mem
hers draw all that is coming to
them at the end Of each month,
particularly those who have their
families with them. Some of them
never had an outside bank, but let
their monthly salaries remain and.
draw it out in small sums. Others
take out their salaries and put
them in other banks. But this is
not done as much us formerly.
A number of them got caught in
the Middleton Bank that broke
some time ago.
Most of the members do all their
finances over the counter of the
Congressional bank, and some of
them pile checks up as high as
$50, Doom a single session.

words of Wisdom.
Those can conquer who think
thny can

-
Kir,i words cost no more than
unklnd ones.
Tile secret ofsuccess is constancy
Of purpose.
A good life hath but few days,
but good name endureth forever.
Every one who is born into the
world has his work; it is born with
him.
To stimulate feeling and do moth
ing in consequence is Il short road
to destroy the feeling.
Cultivate forbearancc till your
heart Yields a fine crop Of it. Pray
for a short memory as toall unkllid-
ness.
We complain that our life is
short and yet we throw away mich
of it, and are weary Of many of it's
parts.
Little by little fortunes are accu-
mulated; little by little knowledge
is gained; little By little character
is achieved.
He who decides in any case, with
out hearing he other side OF the
question, though he may determine
justly, is not therefore just.
Some books arc 10 be tasted, 9th.
crs to be swaIlowed,and few to be
thoroughly digested. But good
many ought to be thrown into the
fire.
Don't be a grumbler. Some peo-
pie contlive to get hold Of the
prickly side of everything, to run
against all the sharp corners and
| disagreeable things. Half the
strength spent In growing would
often set things right. You may
as well make up your mind to be.
gin with that no one ever found
the world quite as he would like it;
but You are to take your part of the
trouble and bear it bravely.

Points of PaImistry.

Long-llanded persons are analyt-
ical.
A close hand goes with a close
heart.
Small handed persons prefer
things on a colossal scale.
A hand that "opens with difficulty
expresses avarice.
Tile shortness of the fingers
when carried to excess betokens
cruilty.
A hollow palm as rule goes
with a worrying and unhappy dis
position.
Thick fingers indicate a fond
ness for luxury which might be
amended tosenSuality.
A long hand shows as preference
for details, a tendency to a minute
examination ola subject.
A short hand is the expression
of a nature quick and impulsiye,
Synthetical inits mental operations
Smoothly formed fingers indicate
the possession of tact, while knotty
6ugers indicate taste born OF ex-
perience rather than a natural i'll
heritance.
